1. The Rising

(intro)

2. Light In The Black

Into the darkened horizon
Passing the gates where the eagles cry
Thunder and lightning below
Black clouds ahead in the sky

Gripped by a force field
I'm condemned to hell
This place is hard to explode
Lead to salvation on altars of steel
Turning my gain overload

A light in the black
We're burning the sky
Fire and lightning
I am sworn
A light in the black
Riding the night
On wheels of fire
Into the dawn
A light in the black

Into the wild mountain thunder
Passing the trail under blood red skies
Cruising the desert below
Hot burning sand in my eyes

3. Reign Of Fire

I'm caught in self destruction
I spend my life in hell
No gladness, no crying
Don't see the light of day

Darkness illuminates you
Black night slowly arise

Reign of fire, tears and sin
There's no shelter from the night
Trails of pain and agony
No place left to hide
Reign of fire

There is no rhyme no reason
My fear builds up inside
Deep sorrow, no way out
There's no relief in sight

Nightmares of darkness and you
Looks like my fate has come true
The siren keeps howling my name
Leading me straight to the flame

4. Dream Evil

See the full moon rising
Under purple skies
Breath is coming closer
As the evil cries
No holy bible
Reduce my aims
Condemned to violence
The kiss of death remains

My eyes can't see
My hands can't feel
You!

Dream evil
It's inside
Dream evil
Black night

Darkness all around me
Voices in my head
Scarring my brain
Cold sweat on the surface
When the shape of faces still remain

5. Blood, Sweat & Tears

We came into this hell arena
The audience screaming loud
We're the real new gladiators
Standing here so proud

My eyes fixed the enemy
Standing on the other side
Blood runs hot in my veins
Ready to fight, yeah

Blood, sweat and tears
Blood, sweat and tears
Blood, sweat, tears

The show is over, we have won
Standing on the top
We played the bame, no compromise
Standing like a rock
Like a rock

6. Thunderball

See the light on the horizon
Colors turning into black
You can't cry, you can't hide
You can't dream on

There is no more tomorrow
Where the elder read the signs
Out of dark it came without a warning

When the seventh angel cracked the seal
The human race will die
It's the prophecy, our destiny
The fear

From the eternal void
Out of space and time
Rising in the darkness
Rising from the sky
Thunderball, thunderball, thunderball

Global killers on collision course
Do we have to pay for sins?
Feel the storm is coming nearer
Armageddon!

7. Prayer For The Dying

See the lights of history
Still burning in the black
Rising on the cemetery of fear
Malice and invisible
The nightmare's still alive
Sacrifice the hands of destiny

Pushed in the crossfire
Pretending to win
I'm losing control
Mountains of madness
A wall made of sin
The power holds on
A prayer for the dying

See the writings on the wall
The letters printed in blood
Tangled in the web of force control
Innocent persecutees
Into the hands of fate
Begging for relief they turned to stone

8. Night Comes Down

Riding alone all night down the highlands
Feeling so cold when the rain starts to fall
I need a look from your eyes
Like a star shining bright
And I can't stand holding on anymore
When the night comes down
When the night comes down

Up here in space
Voices are calling inside
Running through the darkness
Close to the edge like a thief in the night
Like a nightmare's coming
All your secret moves
Tearing all those chain away from my hearts

The silver starlight
Moving away out of sight
On the road to nowhere
Driving my heel in the hard pouring rain

I've been captured like a slave who's torn apart
But I can't stand holding on anymore

9. Mortal Sin

You show no respect in my growing of age
No longer a kid in a pink painted cage
Why don't you stop with your wise smart speech
Won't listen no more to all the rubbish you teach

Tameless and stronger than ever before
My fuel is injected
Walking the straight line gonna take what I see
This is the difference between you and me
Don't expect I join your way
Time to accept me here and today

Set my puppets on fire I stop to play
Threw my life guide to the wall
And keep the faith to what I say
I'll be successful in all that I do
Someday believe me
My dreams will come true

Don't expect I join your way
Time to accept me here and today
Don't expect I join your way
Time to accept me here and today

Sharp as steel sting the night
Feel the power grow inside
Pride you feel deep within
Flesh and blood
Mortal sin

10. Final Warning

Just another sleepless night
And the shadow's dancing scary on your ceiling
Are you afraid of this?
Another lightning strikes
Split the blackness powerful while you're still dreming

It's way past sundown
On the verge of night
A blinding light reveals
And you're the witness of a vicious light

Can't you read the signs of the final warning
A light breeze rises up to a mighty storm
Raise your glance and see the sky is burning
Dreadful silhouettes crawling to the door

Don't try to run away
Cause what I feel right now
Is real and not just fantasy
Don't you believe in this?
Don't try to hide away
You feel paralyzed and shocked
By these extremities

11. Pride & Glory

The atmosphere burns
The enforcement arise
The light shining bright
And the new game is near
Emotions so black
When they move in to fight
The onslaught is raging
With powerful might

Accelerate the skid cuts the ice
Can you feel it, the revenge in your eyes

Hard speed attacks
Tough body checks
Your adversary's hunting
You yearn to strike back
Destination forward
While the game is still tie
You got to score now
Cause time's running by

Pride and glory still believe
That you bring back your name to the board
In bright neon lights
Pride and glory burns to win
The bullet hits hard like a missile crushes in
Crushes in

12. Blood Of The Kings

Where the sound of thunder kills the silence
The conquest of evil forces eternal skies
Sworn to ride side by side
Capture, rape and slain
The guardians of Hades will open their gates
To endless pain
Under the flag of hope and glory
Riding the wind to battle within

Where the kiss of judas split the sky
Unholy forces, rulers of darkness and light
Born to steal, rape and kill
Fight in god's forsake
On the horizon so red in the dark
In blood you kneel

Blood of the kings for you heart I'm breathing
Flying on the wings of no return
Blood of the kings for your heart I'm breathing
Flying on the wings of no return

Blood of the kings

Smoke lies on the battlefield
Storm begins to rise
Nights of pain and misery
Fear caught in his eyes
There he stands where bodies lie
Crippled on the ground
Fame is what he's looking for
And hell is what he's found
